The Association was founded after the World War II by
a handful of combat veterans determined to form an alumni organization
that would carry on the traditions of the 10th Mountain Division as one
of the most unique combat forces in American military history. Its
purposes include fostering friendships among all soldiers of the 10th,
and encouraging mountain and winter warfare training within the armed
forces of the United States.

Since 1985, when the Division was reactivated as the
10th Mountain Division (Light), we have welcomed its soldiers and
veterans as members of our Association — as we do veterans of the
Vermont National Guard's Mountain Battalion.

The Association was incorporated in the State of
Colorado as a veterans organization. The present headquarters is in New
York at PO Box 750888, Forest Hills NY 11375-0888. A contribution is
tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law, since the National
Association of the 10th Mountain Division is a 501(c)19 veterans
organization
